ACV - Psalms - 139

139:1  O Jehovah, thou have searched me, and known.

139:2  Thou know my sitting down and my rising up. Thou understand my thought afar off.

139:3  Thou search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.

139:4  For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Jehovah, thou know it altogether.

139:5  Thou have beset me behind and before, and laid thy hand upon me.

139:6  Such knowledge is too wonderful for me. It is high, I cannot attain to it.

139:7  Where shall I go from thy Spirit? Or where shall I flee from thy presence?

139:8  If I ascend up into heaven, thou are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou are there.

139:9  If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the outermost parts of the sea,

139:10  even there thy hand shall lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

139:11  If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, and the light around me shall be night,

139:12  even the darkness hides not from thee, but the night shines as the day. The darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

139:13  For thou formed my inward parts. Thou covered me in my mother's womb.

139:14  I will give thanks to thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are thy works, and that my soul knows right well.

139:15  My frame was not hidden from thee, when I was made in secret, curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

139:16  Thine eyes saw my unformed substance, and in thy book they were all written, even the days that were ordained, when as yet there was none of them.

139:17  How precious also are thy thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!

139:18  I count them; they are more in number than the sand. When I awake, I am still with thee.

139:19  Surely thou will kill the wicked, O God. Depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men.

139:20  For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take it in vain.

139:21  Do I not hate them, O Jehovah, who hate thee? And am I not grieved with those who rise up against thee?

139:22  I hate them with perfect hatred. They have become my enemies.

139:23  Search me, O God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts,

139:24  and see if there is any wicked way in me. And lead me in the way everlasting.
